Bartenders, dogs, mermaids and faeries are just a few themes that Dover singer-songwriter Trini Lima draws on for inspiration and grinds into her sound.

Trini will tackle Fordham Brewing Company tonight with guitarist Dave Cotullas, of Dover.

During any given show, audiences will take note that Trini's performances are melodic, passionate, powerful and intense. Drawing influences from rock, symphonic metal, pop and from Spanish vocalists to ancient Celtic folk songs, Trini's original music defies categorization and pleases the ear.

Born in Madrid, she's matured into an untamed singer-songwriter who marches to the beat of her own drum.

The event will also feature live music while you're getting your sip on.

By the way, the price of admission will earn patrons 10 drink tickets and a souvenir while supplies last. Designated drivers will get $10 off admission and will enjoy free unlimited soda.

The Mason Dixon Band is a collection of fine country musicians who take hearts captive. And the crew will definitely treat the Cowboy Up as a holding cell on Saturday.

With a deep, rich, baritone and soulful voice, Mason Dixon frontman Rob Knowles consumes any venue with the splendor of his natural talent. Knowles is joined by guitarist John Feldmann, who has played with a number of bands throughout the years and has opened up for the likes of Billy Joel, Elton John, Creed and Bruce Springsteen. Then there's Mason Dixon's pedal steel guitarist and comedian Wayne "Superman" Tyler. Tyler keeps audiences laughing, whether he's on or off stage.

Drummer Don Herscher is a natural with a stick in his hand. And lead guitarist Billy Wright has what it takes to throw down on vocals, as well.
